John Mayall, on his "Blues From Laurel Canyon " LP(1969) does a song titled "Walking On Sunset". Well, Topbilled, seems that in spite of it's *importance* , this thread STILL managed to wander off into "off topic chit chat". Sepiatone

I would like to thank Arturo for ANY of his contributions. They're informative and insightful. And he offers any information without any dismissiveness or arrogance, if he's intending to correct. While my post here may NOT be as well authored or as important as anything by my predecessor, I thought it needed to be stated anyway. Sepiatone Edited by: Sepiatone on Feb 1, 2013 4:18 PM

He did indeed. With his high school yearbook picture on the cover! Sepiatone

Kathleen Quinlan! Sepiatone

In the *Ocean's Eleven* remake(2001), they DO get away with it. But the casino owner is such a creep, I guess the producers didn't feel that event wasn't so bad. I don't know how many, if any, caper movies before that one had the perps not get caught. Sepiatone

In 1947, America was probably still in the post-war "blues" and adjustment period, and a "feel good" movie like *The Farmer's Daughter* was the kind of shot-in-the-arm the population needed. Which it is remembered fondly, and if watched in that context, CAN be kind of heart warming to see. Also seeing as to how many ribald jokes were centered around "the farmer's daughter", I wouldn't be surprised if there's some obscure little porn film with that title collecting dust in some attic.

What's Byrne been up to lately, Dargo? Probably STILL trying to convince somebody that HE introduced African rhythms to popular music. The same claim he made that had Steve Stills dive across a table at him to beat his arse! Sepiatone

The cheesy and bloated thing doesn't bother ME too much(or I would have posted complaints about *Ice Station Zebra* ), but what WOULD about mini-series would be that there's no guarantee that I could catch every episode if they're shown on consecutive nights. I DO sometimes have a life apart from TCM. Sepiatone

Yeah! Same here! Never happened with XP. Sepiatone

Barbara Hershey? Sepiatone

I had some trouble the other day, but as stated earlier, it was a PC problem. I had some trouble on my other boards( posts not posting etc.). I cleared that up. I also think my other issues here are somehow PC operational problems, but not so annoying that I make a big deal out of them. I can't click on an emoticon and have it take. I cant use the ITALIC prompt. It TELLS me that CtrlI can be used, but when I use THAT, it brings up my IM box. I also have to use CtrlB for bold, as clicking on the big "B" does nothing. I also can't get that white "quote" box I see others using. I don't know why that is. Otherwise, logging on is usually smooth, although on my other forums I'm always logged in.

Well, my Grandma used to say(a woman wise beyond her formal education): "Nothing wrong with stuffed shirts. Depending what they're STUFFED with!" LOVE ya, Grandma... Sepiatone

But only if they played "Yakety Sax" during the sequence! Sepiatone

I can agree about *The Ladykillers* , but it doesn't diminish my enjoyment of LAVENDER. Both are cleverly constructed and creatively written. Hanging out with the writers of either movie must have been a BLAST! Sepiatone

Well, I DO understand what you mean by using upper case to EMPHASIZE certain words. But I CAN'T understand how someone can THINK it means something ELSE. for ME, it's because, for some reason, I CAN'T get my PC to enable the ITALICIZE prompt, and I DON'T wish to BOLD evertime instead because THAT might be taken the WRONG way, TOO! SEPiatone

Oh, that's RIGHT, fxreyman. It's about YOU! I thought I was addressing the TWO of you. But I'll concede... To ALL of you who post this kind of crap, it goes for YOU TOO! Feel better? Might be it was the latest here that the two of you persisted with was the perverbial "straw". I mean, that IS a possibility, don't you think? Or, DON'T you? Sepiatone

Good pick, Dargo! Blew me away when I first saw it. The concept and execution was exceptionally clever and creative. Sepiatone

I don't remember who posted it, but in one of the highjacked threads, someone came in and posted(in all caps) something about "classic" movies. Claimed something to the effect that merely being 70 years old doesn't qualify a movie as being "classic". I thought it an odd arguement to make in leiu of the fact that we all previously had many disagreements on just HOW OLD a movie need be to qualify as a "classic" movie. Now it seems this individual wants to tighten the criterea even MORE! Anybody recall seeing his post? Sepiatone

You left out *DUEL* . Sepiatone

I think "Phi Zappa Crappa" was only a popular poster from the late '60's. That's how and when I first saw it. Sepiatone

And God forbid you die as a face recognized only character actor that most people might be familiar with instead of a screenwriter or editor known only to industry insiders! (Sorry. Still sore over the passover of Joe Mantell a couple of years ago.) Sepiatone

Here's an idea that might not be "original", but needs to be restated: How about you two using the PM application to post all that CRAP? Sepiatone

As you can't see how it's spelled when you HEAR it, this whole TOPIC is a bit irrelevant. Same with that stupid slang term, "PHAT". Sepiatone

Sorry, MissW. Used a post of yours as a jumping in point. my reply WAS aimed more at James, who whether intended or not, made it sound as if he was claiming Townshend formed the WHO specifically to perform his music, when indeed, he became associated with Daltrey through Entwistle suggesting he become a member of The Detours. And I agree about Zappa. One glance at the list of personel on "The Grand Wazoo" indicates an ear for getting the best musicians for the job. Many popular rock bands of the late '60's changed personel mainly because whoever the "leader" was had a vision for the direction of their music, and all but one or two didn't share it. Therefore you get the changes. Which is why the YES changed guitarists from Banks to Howe, and Jethro Tull changed guitarists, too. Zappa had higher aspirations than the run-of-the-mill rock group, however. And they called for a higher level of musician. Which is why many different people have played in Zappa bands over the years. Over the years, Zappa has employed the likes of some who are either well respected as "session" or solo musicians. From Ansley Dunbar(drums), Sal Marquez(trumpet), Steve Vai(guitar), Jean Luc-Ponty(violin) and George Duke(keyboards), each can stand on their own in their musical fields. And some have become successful under their own name. Having been a Zappa fan since "FREAK OUT", I had no trouble enjoying much of his music, but not ALL of it. In true Sepiatone fashon, I disliked some of what others felt were his best work, like "200 MOTELS" and "Joe's Garage". And while his high minded opinions made Ted Nugent seem like a pollyanna, he could NOT be faulted for his musical creativity. Sepiatone

I always thought *Sabotage* was made in too much of a hurry. Especially the ending. All that melodrama over Sydney killing Homalka, when actually, she would have gotten a pass anyway. Even Oscar could have gotten off by not saying anything. No one could prove HE gave the kid the bomb. How could he have had the remorse to admit what he'd done, then shrug it off by saying, "Oh, well. Let it pass".? But all in all, I like that movie. Sepiatone
